Abstract

|
|
|
The protein encoded by the activated disease resistance 1-like1 (ADR1-L1) gene (locus name, At4g33300) belongs to the activated disease resistance 1 (ADR1) family of coiled-coil nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat-type disease resistance proteins. This family contains four proteins and they have specific features in their amino acid sequences. It has been reported that ADR1 protein belongs to the ADR1 family, which is related to not only defense response but also drought tolerance. We found that transgenic plants overexpressing the ADR1-L1 gene showed a dwarf phenotype and morphological change in leaves. The expression levels of defense-related genes and the resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 were increased in transgenic plants. However, enhancement of drought tolerance and activation of abiotic response genes were not observed. When the growth temperature was changed from 22°C to 28°C, the expression of defense-related genes and the enhancement of resistance to a bacterial pathogen were suppressed and the dwarf phenotype and morphological change of leaves recovered.
